Synopsis:
California's gold country, 1850. Angel expects nothing from men but betrayal. Sold into prostitution as a child, she survives by keeping her hatred alive. What she hates most are the men who use her, leaving her empty and dead inside. Then she meets Michael Hosea. A man who seeks his Father's heart in everything, Michael obeys God's call to marry Angel and to love her unconditionally. Slowly, day by day, he defies Angel's every bitter expectation until, despite her resistance, her heart begins to thaw. But with her unexpected softening come overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. So Angel runs. Back to the darkness...A powerful retelling of the book of Hosea, Redeeming Love is a life-changing story of God's unconditional, redemptive, all-consuming love. A page-turner.

- Tender and Moving. One of the best.
I found this book on Amazon while browsing the Listmania. After reading such complimentary reviews, I decided to take a chance on it. I was not disappointed.

The story is set in the 1850s during the Californian Gold Rush. Michael Hosea is a farmer who falls in love with a prostitute called Angel. Michael lives a simple life and is a God-fearing man. When he meets Angel, her life has just fallen to new depths.

The book is a retelling of the prophet Hosea from the Bible. However, even if you are not religious don't let this put you off. If you like romance, you will love it. It is exquisitely written and the story beautiful. It is not only a story of redeeming love, but unconditional love too.

- MOVING STORY
This is the first book of Francine Rivers that I've read. A friend lent me her copy and when I finished it, I went out and bought my own copy. I've read this book twice and I know I'll read it again. It brought tears to my eyes because I could identify with Angel's low self esteem. It's a beautifully written book that Christian or non-Christians could benefit from. I loaned it to a non-Christian work colleague and she loved it. I've just finished reading Voice in the Wind, another excellent book by Francine Rivers. I can't wait to read her other work.

- Great example of love
Micheal is a character who shows us an example of the unending patience of God's love for us. Angel is a character who shows us how much sin and shame can seperate us from the very thing we want...unconditional love. The story of how these two get together is a reflection of the way we come to know God. Francine Rivers ties it all together with a craft well honed. I can hardly wait for her to write more romance novels with Christian values reflected through out.

Rating:

- unputdownable
Francine Rivers has a wonderful, amazing talent in the way she writes, educates, informs and teaches all through a gripping unputdownable story based on the book of Hosea. I have read most of her books and she is my favourite author at this time of my life.She makes reading so easy, making us imagine what life would have been like , living under such difficult situations then showing why God sometimes makes us go through difficult times but all for the better purpose, His will. I would thoroughly recommend this book to any woman regardless of religion or age.

- Absolutely awesome!
This book has been passed around my group of friends time and again, and we have all loved it. It is unique, a beautifully written novel with the work of the Holy Spirit all the way through it. It made me laugh and cry, and I think I read it in about 24 hours. Just couldn't stop!
